CORNELL FAVORITE
IN ALL RACES
Poughkeepsle, N. Y., June 27.?Th0
order of light work again prevailed
among the crews, as the heat and the
proximity of the regafbta are cffcetual
!y barring rlt'ncr hard r?ws or time
trial*. No further trips over the
course under the watch are expected,
and the practice will bo almost en?
tirely confined to racing starts and
long, easy paddies until the regatta
on Saturday.
Among the eairly visitors to the
scene of the regatta were Jim Wray.
the Harvard coach, and Oaptaln-elert
A-hele.?, of tho Crimson eight. These
two followed the work of the crews
throughout both the morning and
evening rowing in 'he Harvard coach?
ing launch, ami took a long look at
Columbia. Coach Rice invited them to
come in close to the crews and se?
them from all angle.*. In the. Tarpon,
a speedy launch front Co'.onei Payne's
yacht w.-re \V\ A. Ilarrimnn and J.
Holladay Phlibln, of Yale, nnd they,
too. followed tho practice aloncslde
of the Harvard launch. AH of them
seemed greatly rple.is'd with the ex?
hibition rowing that "was afforded.
Coach IWray was the pucM of Poach
Vail during the morning row of the
Wisconsin crews.
The oarsmen at all of the camps are
now reported In good condition with a
few exceptions. The Stanford and the
Wisconsin varsities will have to row
with substitutes, however, as Captain
Seward, of the Palo Alto crew, his found,
that Watklne. who was rowing at No. 4.
is overtrained, owing to a long year of
both crew ami football work, an.l In
Hi,. Wisconsin eight Curr is laid up'
with an infeetol hand. Clover will take
Watklna's place, and Wood, who went
Into the varsity last, year while a
freshman substitute, sgaln has a cham e
with the veterans, taking Cuff* place.
Moore, who Is rowing at No. 0 In the
Columbia varsity, reports that the boil
which has been troubling hltn for wcv
' ral days is much better, and there is
no doubt that he will be in the race
in his regular place.
The main work Of all the crews along
the river was confined to raelng starts.
Columbia came down the river in the
morning, but absolutely no real work
was done because of the hent In the
evening the rowing was lengthened a
bit. and several starts were tried, at
which Downing shot up the stroke to
forty at each trial.
Cornell was sent over the rc-urse In
the afternoon, but with the exception
Of the racing starts they had an easy
j time of it all the way. Coach Ellis
' Ward has entirely abandoned tue hope
j of holding a time trial and will not
work his crews hard from now on.
.Ilm Ten Eyck Is about the only one of
the coaches who intends to take tho
' tnen out again over the course on a
i time trial.
The Stanford men are bothered more
by the heat than any of the other
crews, and this is telling in their
work to a marked degree. The coast
oarsmen went up the river In tilt)
I evening and came down for a cou
i pic of miles at a hard dip, after
i which Stroke Partridge seemed to be
! exhausted. The oarsmen Ute continu
I ing their Jerk at the finish of their
' stroke.

large bets have already been recorded,
and one of $2in was placed to-night
at even money on Cornell against tiio

have been posted. Columbia was
